Pills for wt loss: You should use no pill unless someone--a physician--is supervising its use. Drugs like Phentermine have significant side effects and can cause many serious problems, some like pulmonary hypertension which are fatal. A history of heart disease, uncontrolled high blood pressure, overactive thyroid, glaucoma, psychological disorder, or a history of drug or alcohol issues makes Phentermine a bad idea.
